what is a portion?

Here are two articles that I found helpful.

The first extols the benefits of weighing food over measuring food. I admit, it is too easy to round that tablespoon of PB and I was surprised by the pictures.

The second one, although most of the information is old, I found to be a good reminder and I benefited from hearing the advice.

I would have copied and pasted below for your convenience but the pics do not work.

Google The New American Plate. Lots of great information and portion sizes. They will send you free information packages also.

I weigh AND measure my food now. I am often guilty of underestimating, isn't that funny? Probably goes right along with my undereating issues.
